Design Verification Intern, BS - Summer 2027

Job Title

Design Verification Intern (BS) — Summer 2027

Role Summary

This internship supports Marvell's Design Verification teams working on pre-silicon verification, ASIC/SoC testbenches, and full-chip verification across networking, storage, and AI domains.

The intern will build and run simulation environments, develop automated verification tests, analyze coverage and results, and work cross-functionally with architects, designers, and software engineers to validate designs.

Experience Level

Entry-level internship for undergraduate students; intended for those completing a Bachelor's degree and expecting graduation between Fall 2027 and Summer 2028.

Responsibilities

Typical tasks for the internship:

• Study chip/SoC architecture and design intent to develop verification objectives.
• Create and maintain simulation environments and UVM testbenches that model real-world scenarios.
• Implement automated tests and test sequences to exercise RTL at block/cluster/full-chip levels.
• Run simulations with EDA tools, analyze results, and identify functional failures and regressions.
• Analyze coverage and verification metrics; propose and implement improvements to test suites.
• Perform RTL integration and bring-up activities and debug hardware/software interactions.
• Document findings, file clear bug reports, and communicate results to cross-functional teams.

Requirements

Core skills and experience expected from candidates.

• Must-have: Proficiency in programming/scripting (Python, C, C++, Perl, or Java).
• Must-have: Experience using industry EDA simulation tools (Synopsys, Cadence, or Mentor) to run simulations and debug testbenches.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with RTL integration and bring-up; ability to debug complex hardware/software interactions.
• Must-have: Strong analytical, problem-solving, and written/verbal communication skills.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with UVM, Verilog, VHDL, SoC/ASIC verification methodologies, and coverage analysis tools.

Education Requirements

Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field with expected graduation between Fall 2027 and Summer 2028. Relevant coursework includes computer architecture, digital logic/processor and memory systems, Verilog/VHDL, UVM, VLSI/IC design, and verification principles.
